Welcome Cynthia! I was in Latvia once on business. I also enjoy the Dark Academia vibes so I can’t wait to see your work.

Life is better as a vampire… but I’m biased.

In my own experience as a vampire, I’d say that the longer I lived, the more I became attracted to intelligence… and far less concerned about what gender someone was.

"Some places remain with you long after you leave them." #Versailles #France #History #Fantasy #SecretsFromTheVeil
An imposing historic French château stands beside a tree-lined garden at sunset. Its weathered stone façade, tall windows, steep slate roofs, and elegant towers are illuminated by warm golden sunlight filtering through the trees. A gravel pathway leads toward the entrance, creating a quiet, atmospheric scene.

Hey Dee, I’m fairly new to Bluesky and I’m looking for some good Dark Academia accounts? Any advice on who is interesting to follow?

Continuing my further musings on history… if history is written by the victors, does the academic community periodically review what is considered core knowledge? Do governments consult subject matter experts when choosing educational texts?

Nathan has a remarkable talent for asking questions I would rather avoid. Tonight's conversation is no exception. youtube.com/shorts/2Kzbh...

Good morning everyone. I was reading historical accounts this morning of commanders refusing to admit that they were wrong… I guess it still applies today. Deep thoughts before breakfast….

Being powerful or having authority doesn't make you right. I've met people who've commanded armies, who couldn't admit when they are wrong. I guess some things never change.

There is something incredibly #hygge about sitting in a comfortable chair, quietly reading by candlelight, with a fine glass of red. #Vampire #DarkAcademia #GothicFantasy
Gabrielle, a pale woman with long, wavy dark brown hair wearing an elegant black gothic dress with lace detailing, relaxes in a burgundy velvet wingback chair in a richly furnished library. She holds a glass of red wine in one hand and reads an antique book in the other. Flickering candles illuminate her face, while dark wooden bookshelves, an ornate fireplace, and antique furnishings create a warm, intimate atmosphere.

I take a peculiar comfort in being underestimated. Is that weird? People reveal so about themselves through their assumptions. Do you agree? Disagree?

I grew up around Vercheres, just outside of Montreal.

In my interviews with Nathan he asks very simple questions… but sometimes those are the most dangerous kind.
